More than 80 public interest groups remind UN Member States that the broad and undefined concepts contained in the #UNCybercrimeTreaty - such as “terrorism” and “extremism” - should not be used as a basis to restrict freedom of expression. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
The Criminalization Chapter under the #UNCybercrime Treaty should be restricted to core cybercrimes – criminal offenses where ICT systems are the direct objects and instruments of the crimes. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
Clusters 2 to 10 of the #UNCybercrime Treaty include offenses that are not core cybercrimes, are drafted with vague language, or are offenses that interfere with protected speech. These cluster of offenses should be excluded from the proposed Convention. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
Many States rely on the ambiguity around content crimes to justify human rights abuses and prosecutions of civil society members, independent media, activists, and opposition parties. Speech related offenses should be excluded from the Cybercrime Treaty. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
Offenses under the #UNCybercrime Treaty would impose restrictions that may interfere with the essential working methods of journalists, whistleblowers, and security researchers. The Convention should not become a vehicle to investigate any and all crimes. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
